Comments:
Decay of internal calcium conc due to current and pump, written by a destexhe nov 1992. Model from publio et al (2006), model no. 95870, with modified parameters  depth changed to 10 um from 0.1, taur changed to 20 ms from 200, and cainf changed to 5e-5 mm from 2e-3. Modeling study, based on several previous studies. Animal model is considered generic vertebrate as stated in paper, though much of the previous data comes from tiger salamander. This channel's kinetics are from tiger salamander and cat data (publio et al. 2006; liu and kourennyi 2004).
